Goed nieuws, ondanks de kritiek van sommigen is de wereldhandel gebaat bij stabiliteit. Goed voor de medische industrie en goed voor automotive.

Daarmee is wat ooit een mooi bedrijf was met een perfecte ontwerpafdeling niet meer dan een schil geworden van wat het ooit was.
De concurrentieslag met het verre oosten m.b.t. consumenten elektronica is reeds lange tijd geleden verloren.
Enkel in een specifieke niche (medisch in dit geval) waar veel kennis nodig is en een samenwerkingsmodel met klanten is overleven en concurreren nog mogelijk...

Autistic Burnout isn’t failure.
It’s not weakness.
It’s not a sign that you didn’t try hard enough.
Autistic Burnout is what happens when the world demands your mask.
When your needs are invisible, your rhythms ignored, and your value tied to performance.
It’s not just exhaustion...
It’s a full-body protest.
A sacred “no more.”
Autistic burnout isn’t about giving up.
It’s about being forced to disconnect from yourself just to survive.
You don’t need to bounce back.
You need space to return to yourself.
That’s not recovery.
That’s liberation.

@littlescraps I like that! I'm a big fan of the Murderbot Diaries, and one of the things I really appreciate are the emergency shutdowns when it's injured.
Maybe something from the nuclear industry like "core exposure"?

"Scram is sometimes cited as being an acronym for safety control rod axe man or safety cut rope axe man."
"...had an actual control rod tied to a rope with a man with an axe standing next to it; cutting the rope would mean the rods would fall by gravity into the reactor core, shutting the reactor down."
So now I have the image of a little man in my head ready to cut the rope to a control rod ready to shut me down. I can blame shutdowns on him. 😆
The metaphor does work well for how I feel in shutdown though, like any reactions are just being absorbed by control rods thrust into my head.
Which just reinforces that the term 'meltdown' works well for me also, but then I'm a sci & tech nerd. The term may convey something different to other people like you say, littlescraps. 🤷

I contend it is clinical PTSD. Multiple burnouts is C-PTSD.
Burnout we used to call a ‘nervous breakdown’ but neither of those things are clinical diagnosis.
ActuallyAutistic group reshared this.
most of us have experienced a tremendous amount of bullying, abuse, trauma and a lack of compassion, support, or safe space, non-stop in our lives. I think it’s that hopelessness and feeling of no way out is what brings us to burnout/ptsd.

I tend to use two metaphors, not electrical though:
- Material fatigue en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatigue_… for the internal perception and progression of damage
- Aerodynamic stall en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stall_(f… for how it depends on the plane's shape and speed, the way usual control mechanisms become useless, and getting out of a stall requires counterintuitive actions
